The Poker Thread

I'm at the final table of a 90 man $2.20 tourney was chip leader for ages now sat on short stack with just 8 players left.

Its a good game for exactly that reason, it makes you MORE confident at where you are in a hand post-flop. I like that.

By the way CHIP-LEEEEEAADDERRRR!!

Wow, I have no idea what you pokerers are talking about

It would be cool to have a GR tourny if there's a website which will let us set up private games?

I just bubbled

All chips in pre-flop with KA, up against AA... went from chance to win to complete waste of time...

I'm gonna have to try one of these at some point. I can only imagine that the standard value of hands goes completely out the window with so many people seeing flops. Suited connectors jump way up ( ) and I imagine that unless you hit your set on the flop Aces become much weaker.

I believe we are looking for more bodies for exactly that! Stick around and learn!

It allows you to make more 'small ball' bets, which is cool. Also, you can limp in so cheaply with your low pairs sometimes its ridiculous, and leave when you havent hit quicker than a whippet with a bum full of dynamite.

Also, sometimes a raise pre-flop to something like just a third of the pot from antes CAN get everyone off their cards. THATS value for money.

Matrix tomorrow?

So far Sykes, DML and myself are in.

Nova? Gaz? T-Bag? Slayer?

Count me in for the matrix.

Managed to get lucky with AQ against AK so im now 4/6

In the money and 9th out of 112!

Unbelievably, I've not had a single decent 'premium' hand, the best I've had is 10s and AQ twice!

I can make the matrix tonight

I could be in yeah. I'll have to see how much work I've done/

Er, AQ is a premium hand.

Matrix at 7 ?

Yeah.

I'm in the process of knocking together a quick glossary as often poker's language can be rather confusing.

EDIT: Actually, this'll do.

What time's the Matrix tonight?

You know what I mean, the tippity toppity hands. Aces, Kings, Queens, AKs.

AQ has donked me so much recently, I dont see as a preimum hand anymore.

AQ and AJ are hands that can get people in trouble I will raise with them and try not to call a raise with them out of postion if possible.
